I lead product, engineering, and data for companies where scale is the job. Twenty years of turning strategy into products used by millions, and building the teams that ship them.
Deliver real value every day, and shape the future while you do it. Today's wins earn the right to make tomorrow's bets. That's the standard I hold myself and my teams to.
For 20+ years I've led product, technology, and data at Google, Capital One, Walmart, FedEx, AT&T/Cricket, Pizza Hut, and Mattress Firm. I've owned P&Ls, reinvented how people shop for big purchases, and turned strategy into products used at national scale.
Today I'm Chief Product Officer at WorkMoney, a mission-driven fintech helping working families lower costs and raise incomes. I'm the company's first CPO, leading product, engineering, data, and member value.
My view on AI: it isn't a strategy on its own. It's the enabler, accelerator, and scale engine for the strategy you already have. If it doesn't move a customer outcome or give a team time back, it doesn't get funded.
Set direction people can repeat back to you, then move fast toward it. A team that knows the why makes better calls without waiting on me.
Stood up design, research, and analytics as formal functions, and the operating model that connects them to product and engineering.
Human in the loop, clear disclosure, evals before scale. Outcomes over demos.
Teams that do what they thought was impossible, with smart tradeoffs and the kind of conflict that makes the work better.
